A 15-year-old boy in Miaoli, who yearned to climb mountains, brought just 5 bowls of instant noodles and long thin sleeves to Baiyue “Nenggao An Dongjun” and walked 8.1 miles to reach Tianchi Villa. As the teenager’s parents could not be reached for an emergency report, the search and rescue team found him under the roof of Tianchi Villa. The temperature on the mountain was only one degree. When they found the boy, he said, “It’s a bit cold, but I’m fine.” It was also broken that the collaborators were forced to carry the boy down the mountain in the dark at night. Teenagers climb mountains without any protection from the cold. You don’t want the outside world to criticize parents for “indulgence.” Although parents believe that children’s wishes should be respected, the social cost and labor of search and rescue is left to society. Is it not necessary to punish parents? ? The Miaoli Social Affairs Office, the competent authority, has spoken!

When the boy was found, the temperature on the mountain was only one degree Celsius, and he only had a long, thin sleeve on his body, and he was not even wearing a jacket.This costume made search and rescue personnel look dumbfounded. It’s just that a lot of netizens are curious. The 15-year-old walked up alone, “Are the parents here?” And the teenage mother once said that the child had no prior experience. “He had not climbed the mountain alone before. Once.” The father said that he had advised his son not to go up the mountain, but the son insisted and finally agreed. It is good to respect the wishes of the children, but yes to a teenager is allowed to climb Baiyue alone in such a dangerous way, who will be responsible if something goes wrong? Zhang Guodong, deputy director of the Department of Social Affairs of the Miaoli County Government, said: “In accordance with the Law of Protection of The Welfare Rights of Children and Adolescents, although those under 18 are protected, only clearly regulates that parents cannot leave children under 6 years old alone. Therefore, parents allow 15-year-olds to climb alone Yue, there is no clear penalty. “

Zhang Guodong said the 15-year-old has an independent mindset, and the parents also said they have fully communicated. While it is good to respect children’s wishes, Zhang Guodong candidly said, “Parents can underestimate risk!” Zhang Guodong himself is also experienced in climbing Baiyue. There really is very little equipment like this for a boy! And there are too many hidden risks on the mountain. “If the child is a little ahead (passing through Tianchi Villa), it will really be too dangerous.” Zhang Guodong said that the equipment in his body Food simply can not last that long. Therefore, Zhang Guodong, who has been exposed to child welfare for a long time, said that, although there are no penalties, children who are already teenagers should also respect their wishes, but parents should carefully assess the situation. The consequences of misjudging the situation can be unimaginable.
